Evolve Golf’s Epoch Tee Used by Winner and Three Top-Eight Finishers at ADT Championship

Fifth Victory for Evolve Golf on 2008 LPGA Tour

Ocean Isle, NC November, 24 2008 – Evolve Golf, Inc.  

News Summary

  • Evolve Golf – maker of the No. 1 performance golf tee on Tour – confirms that the winner and three top-eight finishers at the ADT Championship relied on its patented Epoch tee, marking the company’s fifth victory of the season on the LPGA Tour.
  • A part of 109 major Tour wins – including 31 LPGA Tour and 34 PGA Tour victories – since its 2004 debut, Epoch is the only performance tee with radius posts that span the width of a golf ball dimple. This unique feature creates the lowest coefficient of friction of any tee, eliminating deflection at impact and increasing ball speed and control off the tee
  • The Epoch has been scientifically proven via a series of rigorous independent robotic tests combined with extensive player testing to provide improvements of up to 12 yards distance and 9 yards accuracy.
  • Epoch tees are crafted from renewable and recycled materials and are several times more durable than their wooden counterparts. The aesthetic advantages of Epoch have been embraced by a growing and substantial number of world class facilities who have begun replacing wooden tees with Evolve’s environmentally friendly offerings.
